What a real listing shows
One 1958 CESSNA 175 listing shows 2450 lbs gross weight and 862.7 lbs useful load. It has 1540.5 hours airframe time and a Continental O-470-R, 230 hp, with 141.5 SMOH. The engine was torn down in 2017 after metal in the oil from a failed starter adapter. The prop overhaul entry is missing from the books. The seller tells the buyer to verify all times and equipment.
Airworthiness directives to verify
AD 79-10-14 R1 applies to the CESSNA 175 and requires vented fuel caps within 100 hours of its effective date, with a log entry. The New Zealand AD schedule also lists FAA ADs on mufflers, nose gear fork cracks, seat tracks, shoulder harness adjusters, the fuel selector valve cam and the alternate static source selector. Confirm each is logged separately.
Doors, floats and upgrades
Both the 172 and the CESSNA 175 have two cabin doors, each on two hinges. Original Cessna hinge pins are not reusable, and McFarlane makes PMA hinges with reusable pins. Wipaire 2350 floats have a parts manual that covers the 175. Service Letter 228 offers an optional replacement for discontinued hydraulic pumps on 2100A and 2350A floats. TruTrak publishes a Vizion autopilot install for the 175.
Safety notes
- AD 79-10-14 R1: confirm vented fuel caps are fitted and the compliance entry is in the maintenance records.
- Early-type nose gear forks must be replaced at 1,500 hours total time under the 1971 AD amendment. Check the fork type and the logs.
- Shoulder harness adjusters: inspect for a retainer spring per FAA AD 2004-19-01 and look for the log entry.
